KEY POINTS:
The Britneygate baby melodrama has taken another bizarre, yet ultimately predictable, twist.
The word on the street is that Britney has infact suffered a miscarriage, shattering her hopes of becoming a proud mother for the third time.
British tabloid The Sun reports that a message posted on social networking website MySpace.com, claiming to be from Spears, says the pop mess is no longer with child.
This is the same website which broke the news that Spears was allegedly carrying music producer J.R. Rotem's lovechild.
Rotem confirmed the reports to an American magazine via text message, but later denied them.
But now, a second mysterious message on the same site - dated 28 November 2007 - claims Spears has lost the baby.
It reads, "I don't really want to talk about it, but I will say that I have not been feeling well (cramps and spotting) for the past few days.
"I finally saw my doctor, and she said it was too late."
Meanwhile, the singer is supposedly turning her grief into anger, and directing it straight at former pal, Paris Hilton.
Spears has reportedly warned her old chum Hilton that a sensational new sex-tape could be heading her way.
The Daily Star claims Spears sent Hilton a poison-pen letter after falling out with her while celebrating her 26th birthday last week.
The newspaper's spy said: "Britney and her pals wrote to Paris and told her they are hearing rumours of a new sex-tape scandal - similar to the One Night In Paris footage her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon put on the web four years ago.
"The letter also claims the tape shows footage of Paris locking lips with one of Britney's female friends at a party.
"It warns Paris that if she continues being rude to people, the footage will be leaked online."
The mole added: "Britney and her pals also end their note by telling Paris they look forward to hearing back from her."
Britney pumps gas in this video clip and claims someone stole a CD from her car - not her CD, obviously... they can't even give those away!
A bit sniffy
Rapper 50 Cent has been filmed doing something which looks suspiciously naughty.
A TV crew and a presenter brazenly walk into 50 Cent's dressing room, and with camera rolling, appear to capture the rapper and a bunch of his mates hunched over a table sniffing away merrily...at which point the presenter makes a dignified retreat as 50's entourage gesture for him to get the hell out!
Watch the clip here.
The action kicks in at around the 1min 35sec mark.
Pot shots
Has someone been taking aim and firing at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's house?
Bizarrely, news of a "mystery gunman" opening fire outside Brangelina's Los Feliz home last week, hitting two vehicles, has barely hit the news.

Snow white
Amy Winehouse, who is looking more and more like a painted corpse each day, has again been snapped with a nose covered in a mysterious white substance.
The nocturnal singer was spotted partying with her mates in London's Soho until the wee hours of the morning - with a layer of white stuff covering each of her nostrils. See here.
The Rehab star played a secret gig at the Jazz After Dark club in Greek Street, and gave yet another lackluster performance.
An onlooker said: "She seemed to be having trouble working out the music. She was going back and forth, sorting out the arrangements before singing for about 15 minutes."
The day before, Wino was in floods of tears outside her home after visiting her husband in jail.
But it wasn't her hubby's incarceration that drove her over the edge - she lost her house keys and had to crawl under security gates to get inside.
Lying on her back on a wet pavement, and observed by a crowd of paparazzi, Wino wriggled her way through.
"It was bizarre," one onlooker revealed.
"When she got out of the car she was visibly upset and started looking around for her keys.
"Then she sat down on the ground with her back against the gate, dropped to one side, lay on her back and crawled underneath the gate.
"I was surprised she managed to get herself under there but she managed to get through.
"After that she dusted herself down, opened the gate to get a bag from her driver and went inside."

As a failure, she's a great success. And a few fries short of a Happy Meal, I'd say.
Back for good?
Pop singer Robbie Williams' mother has hinted that the pop star could well be reuniting with his Take That band mates.
Contactmusic.com claims the reunion is "something he wanted to do".
Williams quit the group in 1995, following a series of spats with the other band members.
The star's mum, Jan, believes a Take That reunion is definitely on the cards.
"On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen. It would be something he wanted to do.
"I'm thrilled that out of all the negative stuff that happened in the past, there's now something great happening. Take That were excellent when they were all together and they are excellent now."
I'm sure Williams' change of heart has nothing to do with his flagging solo career.
Rob, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
LiLo love's all around
Blimey, that Lindsay Lohan is prolific.
Word has it that LiLo has her sights set on Paris Hilton's ex-lover Stavros Niarchos.
But there's a problem. Hilton is reportedly desperate to win back the hairy Greek for her herself.
The pointless heiress - who has vowed she'll bag herself a man - has been spotted flirting with Niarchos at Hollywood's Crimson club, but witnesses say he gave her the big brush off.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Stavros wanted nothing to do with her and seemed so annoyed by her, he left the party.
"Paris had no idea Stavros had gone and was wandering around asking where he had gone."
entertainmentwise.com claims Stavros left the building and later hooked up with Lohan.
The source says: "Stavros went to hang with Lindsay. He is sticking with her this time."
LiLo has also been linked to Heath Ledger.
Greedy, greedy, greedy!

Owen Wilson and buddy Woody Harrelson have been holidaying together in Peru.
Indulging in a spot of manly male bonding in the jungle, and sporting some ovary-twitching boxers, the pair is a sight to behold. Ding dong!
Look at the tent Wilson is erecting here.
